THE MAROON Volume XIII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., NOVEMBER 16, 1934 No. 7 FOUNDER'S FUNERAL MASS TODAY RUES FOR FATHER BIEVER TO BE HELD IN NCDERMOn MEMORIAL CHURCH AT NINE Beloved Priest Dies Suddenly From Heart Failure Wednesday Morning The Rev. Albert Biever, S. J., founder of Loyola University of the South, who returned to the scene of his first great accomplishment after many years, passed away early Wednesday morning in the faculty residence adjacent to the university. The pastor's body lay in statd Wednesday and Thursday in Holy Name of Jesus church, during which time thousands came to pay him tribute. He will be buried from a requiem high mass at 9 o'clock this morning. The mass will be said by the Very Rev. Joseph M. Walsh, S. J., -provincial of the Southern Province ot Jesuits. His body will be taken to Mobile, Ala., at 5 p. m. and buried Saturday at Spring Hill College cemetery.His life was one of intense /activity and it ended just as his 76 years had been spent—in service to his fellowman. On the night before his death, the beloved pastor of Holv Name of Jesus parish, attended the parish Holy Name society meeting, and after arranging several matter for the next day, went out on a sick call. Dies Suddenly He Tetired upon his return, apparently well, but a few minutes after 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, he took ill suddenly. Rev. J. J. Walsh, S. J., who occupied the room next to Father Biever's, answered his calls and administered the last sacraments. Others were aroused and Doctor Nix called. By the time he arrived, Father Biever had already died. The doctor pronounced death due to a heart attack. Father Biever was ordained a Catholic priest of the Society of Jesus at the age of 34, and since that time has been noted for his wonderful work in the fields of religion, science, and education. On last April 24 he celebrated his 76th birthday. This was the last time that public acclamation was paid him by the thousands throughout the city who revered and respected him. Founds Loyola He founded Loyola University of the South in 1904, when the Society of Jesus "gave him 10 cents carfare and told him to go uptown and found a university." He was the first president of the university at its present location, and served in this capacity for 10 years, struggling with all its interests at heart to make it the outstanding Catholic university of the South. After his work at the university had been accomplished and the institution was well on its way to fame, he was appointed to the missionary staff and spent six years in this field preaching from Tennessee to Mexico. Named Pastor In 1920, he was named pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Baronne street, and when it was condemned as unsafe, he started a campaign for funds to erect a new structure, which materialized into the beautiful edifice that stands there today. He was warmly received into the hearts, ol ill his parishioners and they grew to love him during hie long years of service in the downtown section. Are was overtaking him but he THE CAMPUS VIEW THE NEW DEAL was saved from an untimely death last week when the Democrats swept the Republicans right off the platform. The party succeeded in getting a twothirds majority in both houses, which guarantees them great ease and facility in passing the necessary legislation for the proposed extension of the national recovery program. It would have been too bad had the Republicans accomplished the unexpected and garnered enough votes to throw the present party out of power. They are decidedly the industrialists and the "bigmoney" men of the nation. Their sympathies do not lie with the 'New Deal Or any of its branches, and had the victory been theirs, it would have been almost certain curtailment, and possibly complete abandonment, of the extensive economic reconstruction program. That would have been unfortunate at a time like this, just when people are beginning to have a restoration of confidence and a more optimistic outlook on the future. We feel that the NRA policy of President Roosevelt has done much, and is, at present, the beßt system that could be adopted to cope with the difficulties. There may be others who entertain a different view, but they must remember that Roosevelt had a gigantic task before him at the outset and that he has worked wonders since his inauguration. We are not taking the side of either party as a political unit; we are merely weighing i the advantages and disadvantages II of the present policy. JUDGE THOMAS EXPLAINS F. C. A. Diagraming the organization of the Farm Credit Administration with two charts, Judge J. M. Thomas, general agent of the local administration, addressed the commerce students Friday at 11, a. m. in Marquette auditorium in the first lecture by prominent business men of the city held this year. The speaker outlined the history of relief in the United States that culminated with the setting up of the central Farm Credit Administration in Washington under the guidance of President Roosevelt. The executive department of the * administration is headed by a governor,Wolfpack Takes On Mississippi State Tomorrow By Tom Dunn Visitors Will Use Aerial Attack Against Big Maroon Line Tomorrow afternoon the Wolfpack will take the field against the Sharpshooters from Mississippi State in what promises to be a great game. The Mississipians think that they have a chance to add a victory to their none too illustrious record for this year. This is the first game to be played between the two schools has met a Southwestern Conferand also the first time that Loyola ence team. The Wolf Pack, still smarting from their loss of last week, are going to march on the field tomorrow afternoon to do all in their power to turn back the Sharpshooters on the small end of whatever the score may be. The Mississippians will also attempt to ipass the mighty Loyola line via the aerial route, but the Wolves will be well prepared for this after last week's pass defenses were taxed to the limit. The Wolves are in a frame of mind that bodes no good for a passing team.
